As a manufacturer of corrugated and solid cardboard packaging, at Schumacher Packaging, we use natural renewable raw materials – with a correspondingly beneficial carbon footprint. After all, corrugated board is made entirely of renewable raw materials and can be fully recycled. Thus, transported goods are packaged in an environmentally friendly way – and when it has served its purpose, the packaging can be recycled with the waste paper.
Corrugated board is a sustainable packaging material
While caring for cultivated forests, damaged wood and wood from thinned out trees is accumulated – the primary raw material for producing paper. The vast majority of the paper in Germany is made up of around 85% recycled material such as recovered paper, cardboard packaging and used corrugated board. In contrast, fresh fibres make up a mere 15% of the raw material for corrugated cardboard on average and this figure is still falling.
… and a natural recyclable product
Corrugated board packaging is generally single-material packaging. And, because it is made of only one material, it is easy to dispose of - after use, it is disposed of with the waste paper and returned to the recycling loop. Used corrugated board is anything but rubbish. As it is recycles so well, it is a significant and valuable raw material in paper production.
Solid board: the all-rounder of packaging containers
Solid board generally consists of recyclable paper and is manufactured as single ply, multi-ply or multilayer. It is a very strong cardboard, characterised by its great density and homogenous structure. We produce our ECO solid board in all required grammages.
We recycle –
with RESY
The RESY logo is found on transport and outer packaging and means that the raw materials cycle has been maintained. If the RESY symbol is printed on the packaging,
- it is made of cardboard and is guaranteed to be recyclable.
- The partners of RESY Organisation für Wertstoffentsorgung GmbH redeem the cardboard
in order to dispose of it in an environmentally friendly manner and return it to the product cycle.
